Today’s love story is dedicated to those supporting one of Lamorinda’s most recognized landmarks. The Orinda Theatre first opened its doors in 1941, but, like so many businesses, has been closed since March 16. With their main source of revenue cutoff, the theatre attempted to sell wine, popcorn and Red Vines on Friday nights. Unfortunately, sales were not enough to cover the theatre's fixed operating costs of $15,000 a month. 

That’s when Orinda Theatre operator, Derek Zemrak started a GoFundMe campaign that raised over $11,000 in nearly four days! Zemark was amazed by the outpouring of donations. ""It really shows how we all love our historic iconic theater,"" he stated.
